Alabama has some as well the last few years. At RB and WR. And this year at QB

I think this year for Alabama, the holes on offense are seen as much worse because Young was so talented, he was able to cover up a number of those glaring weaknesses. Alabama still has more talent than most of the nation, and the lack of talent at QB has made them look inept. It also doesn't help that Saban is a defensive coach, so that doesn't help either. The difference with OSU, is the opposite, Day is so offense focused, that we rarely have to worry about that side of the ball, but his defense's leave much to be desired.

And that's another area where its quite surprising, because Bama has won some BIG battles for very talented OL. But can't develop them. They bring in these massive bodies, who are liabilities in space. And again, Young was able to mask much of that with his play. Milroe just isn't very good(all athlete, and little of an actual QB)- but he's their best option, Buchner is a lower P5 level caliber QB, and Simpson is too inexperienced to hand the keys over to. Procter looks like a deer in headlights, and the rest of the OL doesn't look any better. For all the knocks on OSU's OL, look at these few "highlights" and tell me which OL you'd rather have:

This looks like a blitz from tecmo bowl where the OL looks like matadors

Procter just straight embarassed

Rushing 4 against a 5 man OL, and still getting the sack, is just unacceptable. Especially when the defense is USF and the offense is Bama

In order for Bama to get through the season, they're going to need to lean heavily on their run game. And pray one of those QBs pans out down the road. Or all of these recruiting victories will be moot, especially when kids will get sick of losing and start hitting the portal

Just sayin': Marquee matchup games in prime time that everyone's watching; that's one reason players come to Ohio State.
